 * Suspected sockpuppets

Praetorian3005 was created, apparently, when Imperator1974 was blocked on March 3. Both accounts have substantially similar edits to the sockmaster, mostly involving adding unsourced opinion and commentary to wine and whisky articles about food compatibility. It looks like an attempt to evade a block (which is now expired). ~Amatulić (talk) 21:45, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Just to clarify some of the duckness, the article Whisky and Food was created by User:Imperator1974 on 3 March and tagged for A10, a tag over which he edit-warred. Right after, the article Whisky and Dining was created by User:Praetorian3005 and nominated for deletion here, where the likely connection between creators was noted. Praetorian3005 ended the deletion debate early by requesting the deletion of the page himself, as he created Whisky with food, which is still open...and which was most recently edited by Imperator1974. Note that among the few contributors of Praetorian3005 is an edit to this article, which had been created only two days before by the sock master. Frankly, my main concern is that it seems unlikely that Imperator1974 is as new as he appears and claims to be. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:25, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
 * (moved from below) Imperator is blocked, Praetorian3005 shows up on the same articles, same style of edits. I have copyvio concerns also which I am dealing with separately. Dougweller (talk) 06:29, 8 March 2012 (UTC) Dougweller (talk) 06:29, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

 * DQ blocked the sock. I say we let this go for now, but relist if new accounts show up. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 02:08, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
